The bar looks similar to a type that we sell in the UK from Canada.
If you are buying this bar in the belief that it is low-carb then it is not. This is due to the glycerin in the bar. Looking at the link to the manufacturer’s site the ingredients given give an extra 12.26g of carbs when you use the method below to find out the amount of glycerin.
How to find the amount of glycerin in a bar.

The way to do this (assuming the company has correctly listed everything else on the label right) is to find the total caloric content of the bar and the total amount of protein, carbs, and fat listed. Multiply the grams of protein and carbs by 4. Multiply the grams of fat by 9. Take the total of these two numbers and subtract it from the total calories in the bar. The number you come up with from this calculation is the total calories of glycerin in the bar. To find out the number of carbs this makes up divide that number by 4.32.
Here is the formula to calculate the grams of carbs contained from the glycerin:
Total Calories - ((gm. of protein + gm. of carbs) x 4) + (gm. of fat x 9)) = glycerin / 4.32

one bar with no glycerin in.

Also the bar contains Soy protein. “soy protein contains massive amounts of naturally occurring estrogen. Now this might be desired if you have just entered menopause, but if you are an athlete trying to increase performance, build muscle and reduce body fat the last thing you should be eating is soy protein. Whether from a powder, bar, or whole food, soy protein could possibly be an athlete's worst enemy.”
